Tom only likes the Behringer, 'cause it's the fake last name he's gonna start using when he's through with "Tuttle."

Funny, I was going to choose Parasound as my fake last name.

That's odd. I was going to go with Goobersnitt.

Unfortunately, Ken, Tom appears to be a star-effer, so if you want him to still be your friend, I'd go with Burns or "And Barbie."

I didn't get it at first, but now I think I do. You simply want to hunt me down like a dog and stab me in the face.
I guess I was reading into to it too deeply. I promise not to do that to any of your posts again. Sorry. Edit: I'm kidding. I got it. I'm printing it out and putting on the fridge door, about 24" off the floor, so MR. Watson can have a snortle whenever he trots by and reads it. Edited by BobKay (01/07/12 09:01 AM)

Originally Posted By: tjmorri I recently read an M80 review where the reviewer employed Crown XLS1000 amps (200+ watts) to power them.

I'm currently running a Pioneer Elite SC-35 to power an all Axiom 7.1 set-up, which seems fine, but if I upgrade to a VP180 and add height speakers, should I be looking at separates now? I'm not a fan of Motive but do like Oulaws and wonder if Crown is a decent alternative? Thoughts? It may have actually been my review on Home Theater Shack. Since the M-80's and VP180 are 4 Ohms the Crown actually pushes 350 watts per channel at 4 ohms. At $300 new there really isn't a less expensive solution for pushing a lot of power and the Class-D runs cool with no audible fan noise or hum. I have tried a lot of different power amps from Emotiva, Wyred4Sound and Outlaw and while there may be some measurable difference, not that I have found any myself, it really came down to a matter of cost. I love the Class-D sound and liked the Wyred4Sound amp a little more than the Crown XLS1000, but not $1100 more.... Edited by DSR7997 (01/11/12 02:25 PM) |

Very glad to have read your response,and original review!
I didn't see much benefit in moving from a 140 watt/channel receiver to separate amp offering 200 watt/channel but I forgot the ohm difference. 350+/channel at 4 ohm would be noticeable. Silly question though, was that Crown XLS1000 amp one channel or two channel??? |
